After getting up, Lin Mo did not forget to look up the information about Hanba. He went to the storage room and opened the dusty box on the far right. Stacked inside were the records compiled by the Mirror Master lineage about various gods and ghosts, as well as some Other books on this subject.
The Rain God recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is called Yinglong, and the corresponding god of drought is called Nvba. Yinglong and Nvba were also introduced into the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, and appear in many records in the Great Wilderness Bei Jing.
After this battle, Yinglong and Hanba established great achievements, but they also lost their divine power and could never return to the sky. Yinglong stayed in the south of the human world, and from then on the south became more watery and rainy. Ba stayed in the north, and from then on there was more drought in the north, and she No matter where he went, he was cursed and expelled by people, calling him "drought demon".
"Shenyi Jing·Nanhuang Jing" says: "There is a man in the south, two or three feet long, with his body naked and his eyes on the top, walking like the wind." Those who throw them into the toilet will die, and the drought will disappear."
"Shuowen": "郃, a drought ghost."
"The Book of Songs" by Kong Shu quoted from "The Book of Miracles": "There is a man in the south, two or three feet long, with his body naked and his eyes on the top, walking like the wind, his name is Bao. The country he saw is suffering from a severe drought, and the bare ground is thousands of miles away. There is a drought mother. .”
Yuan Mei's "Xu Zi Bu Yu" also said: "The corpse first turns into a drought monster, and then changes into a jian."
The image of the Drought Demon from the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty is represented by the image of the goddess, whose image is characterized by a woman in green clothes. The Drought Demon in this period has dual identities of gods and monsters. People regard it as a god of drought, but it is also associated with the sun and water. Flooding, tiger food and other methods are used to drive them away to achieve the purpose of driving away drought and seeking rain.
From the middle and late Han Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, Hanba, the image of the goddess, gradually transitioned to Hanba, the image of another little ghost. The reason for this change should be that the worship of nature gods that was prevalent in the pre-Qin period gradually declined in the Han Dynasty, and the divine side of Hanba Gradually being denied by people, women's identity has also been questioned, and their image has gradually turned to another, more evil appearance.
Chinese folklore says that during the reign of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, a drought demon caused trouble and drained the water of the salt pond. Zhenzong asked Zhang Tianshi for help, and Tianshi sent Guan Yu to subdue him. Guan Yu fought hard for seven days and subdued the demon. Zhenzong felt his magical power and named him "The Righteous and Brave King Wu'an". This is One day happened to be the 13th day of the fifth lunar month, and people later held Guandi temple fairs on this day to pray for Guandi to appear, ward off demons and eliminate disasters, and bring down rain. This day was called the Rain Festival. It was believed that it would rain on that day. As the saying goes, "A severe drought will not end until May 13th." If it doesn't rain, the Emperor Guan will confirm it.
After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Hanba with the image of an imp gradually evolved into the Hanba with the image of a zombie, and was gradually replaced by the Hanba with the image of a zombie. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the theory of the transformation of the Hanba into a Jian emerged.
Folklore recorded in "History of the Ming Dynasty" says that whenever there is a drought, people will dig up new burial mounds, drag out the corpses, and mutilate their limbs, which is called "drought bone pile driving." Although the Ming Dynasty issued an order to ban this practice, it was not until the Qing Dynasty that In the Ming Dynasty, this custom was still very popular among the people, and it developed from "drying bone piles" to burning corpses.
Legends cannot be fully believed, but people like Lin Mo cannot but believe them. Every flower and every grass has its origin, and every drink and every peck is a sure thing, but no matter where it comes from, the drought demon is recognized as a species that can cause excessive amounts of water. Evaporation, the monster of land drought, is very inconsistent with the current situation, but the smell stored in the mirror of the thermos cup has a very hot feeling, and Lin Mo doesn't think he made a mistake.
In the legend, there are four zombie kings, namely Yinggou, Houqing, Hanbao and Jiangchen. Yinggou is the first zombie king in the world. He and Houqing were both generals under the Yellow Emperor. After their death, they merged with the soul of Hou.
After forming a zombie, it is said that Ying Gou went to the underworld and the sea.
After becoming a zombie, Hou Qing sought revenge from the Yellow Emperor, but to no avail, he cursed the surrounding corpses with their souls. Therefore, the method of cursing the corpse into a zombie had a lot to do with Hou Qing.
Hanba, formerly known as Nvba, was originally the daughter of the Yellow Emperor. When she was seriously ill, some of her souls invaded her body and forcibly fused the three souls and seven souls. After that, her body changed, her hair turned from white to black, her skin dried up and lost all moisture, and her body became strange.
The heat was so intense that the water evaporated in a radius of ten miles around it, and the land suffered a severe drought. The Yellow Emperor expelled him and exiled him to the north. Later, there was a drought and the plague spread across the red land for thousands of miles.
The general is the only vampire zombie, formed by the fusion of the soul of the roar and the branches of the sacred tree. Most of the zombies that can be seen in later generations are the descendants of the general.
But they are both zombie kings. Although the others are not as long as the generals, they also have their own methods. The impact their breath can have cannot be underestimated. Just like this time, just a wisp of breath can kill a person who has just been dead for less than a week.
The person mutated into a corpse. Although it had no impact, the appearance at the death scene was too coincidental. Lin Mo suspected that someone was behind the incident and that the murderer in this case might have something to do with it.
Moreover, Lin Mo was certainly not the only one to discover that the Drought Demon might appear here. The Drought Demon has been born many times since ancient times, either man-made or by accident, but was finally sealed or expelled. The only thing that is certain is that the Drought Demon has not disappeared. Many of them have appeared.
Drought demons are all the work of female demons. The purpose is to test the strength of the Yin Yang monks in the world and act more cautiously every time. Therefore, Lin Mo suspects that Drought demon will really be born this time. The millennium plan is not small, and the cause and effect here are even more complicated.
sequence.
Lin Mo knew that Zhang Bin's investigation into the matter at the western suburbs club had not yielded any results, and the people involved were just small fish pushed out by those behind the scenes, not worth mentioning. But more importantly, Lin Mo
Now is not the time to involve yourself in too big things, because the Ghost Festival is coming soon, and that day is an important day for Lin Mo and Mirror Master.
The mirror of the past life will be opened on that day, and the real mirror master will also appear in this world. At that time, whether he will be pulled into the boundless vortex by the secular world, or become a pushing hand of this vortex, is still uncertain.
So Lin Mo didn't help Zhang Bin deal with this matter for this reason. Lin Mo actually regretted agreeing to Zhang Ningxi's cause and effect. If Zhang Ningxi didn't let Lin Mo settle this cause and effect before the Ghost Festival, then Lin Mo would
There will be big trouble.
However, Lin Mo didn't just agree to send out a piece of cause and effect. Impulsiveness is not the style of salted fish. He has already seen that a piece of cause and effect is fermenting in Zhang Ningxi, and the impact will be revealed in the near future, although he doesn't know what it is.
, but Lin Mo has determined that the incident will be related to Yin and Yang, and Lin Mo's causal line has been implicated in that incident. If there is no time, Lin Mo can use some means to understand the cause and effect in advance.
"Female slayer, did you set up this game yourself, or are you also a pawn in this game without realizing it?"
Lin Mo raised his head and looked out the window. The sky in Maple City was gloomy, and the streets were no longer as noisy as before. The usually lively antique street also lacked vitality at this time. It was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Ordinary people who were running for life had no idea.
They don't know the possible changes in the Yin and Yang Road. They only know that it may rain. Bringing an umbrella can solve all the problems they will encounter. Even if they forget to bring it, they will at most get caught in the rain and return.
A hot bath at home can solve most problems. If you catch a cold, it's just an injection and medicine.
Then one day, he trembled, threw away the medicine bottle, pulled out the needle, and shouted, "Hu Hansan is back again," and continued to plunge into the same life as before. There may be some twists and turns, but for most people
That's it.
Throwing the classics into the box, closing the box, Lin Mo walked out of the room, thinking about how to seduce Xiao Hei to let him clean the room, but after looking at the dusty room, Lin Mo began to consider the price. After all, Xiao Hei worked hard.
But there is a reward. Although the amount of this project is only a few boxes of dried fish, Xiao Hei already has a lot of private collection. Lin Mo is already ready to squeeze it. After all, his own leeks have to be cut one after another, right?
?
He shook his clothes, calmed downstairs, picked up some breakfast and stuffed it into his mouth. Lin Mo was always a good man on days when there was no sun, because I won’t say more, salted fish were also hung up when there was no sun.
of.
But Lin Mo really didn't have a clue about what to do next. After all, he really had nothing to do on a cloudy day. Cleaning was not the job that Lin Mo went back to do. If it was the boss's turn to do this kind of work,
There is no need to raise Xiaohei. This teahouse must have a clear hierarchy in terms of work.
A few scattered raindrops fell on the stone steps at the door of the teahouse. Pedestrians on the road held up umbrellas and walked or ran faster, escaping from this or that unprotected place. Lin Mo sat quietly in the teahouse, watching this.
Tian Tian, who was not very happy, poured the last tea from the teapot into the cup, prepared to end the day's business and go back to bed to be a salted fish.
But at this moment, two figures suddenly broke into Lin Mo's sight. To be precise, they should have ran into the teahouse. They were a man and a woman, and they seemed to be a couple.
The man and woman are wearing the same T-shirts. The man is not tall, only about 1.7 meters tall. He has a mushroom head and fair skin. He looks like a girl. The woman has long hair over her shoulders and is about 1.6 meters tall.
, average figure, but very good-looking.
After the two of them arrived at the teahouse, they stood at the door and looked at the raindrops falling outside, feeling a little melancholy and anxious.
"Oh, it's all your fault. You didn't listen when I told you to bring an umbrella. Look, it's raining."
"Can you blame me? If you choose things faster, you won't be stuck outside in the rain. Girls are troublesome."
... ...
A young couple was quarreling without any new ideas. Lin Mo didn't want to get involved. It was boring. Lin Mo was a little curious about the things about college students, but he was not curious enough to ask questions. Not surprisingly, these two people would come to talk to him. After all, this teahouse
There was only one living person inside, Lin Mo, and Lin Mo also noticed that the boy who looked a bit girly had a ghostly aura about him, so he thought that this boy might be unlucky recently.
Lin Mo raised his head and looked in the direction of the second floor. To throw such a person into his teahouse on a rainy day was because he was too busy.
However, should we control the cause and effect that comes to our door, or should we ignore it?
